Quaker Pamphlets Online: Our Hearts Are Restless
http://quakerpamphlets.blogspot.com/2008/02/our-hearts-are-restless.html
Monday, February 4, 2008. Our Hearts Are Restless. The premise of this pamphlet is that "Quakerism is a way of response to God, a way of response to the universal tide of unrest which ever relentlessly sweeps in upon us.". Gilbert Kilpack, a director of studies at Pendle Hill in the 1950's, begins with an astounding declaration:. That is the question which passes from soul to soul and which we turn from and even conspire to avoid as one avoids some insidious disease.". The essential, the primal question ...

Wednesday, February 13, 2008. Obstacles to Mystical Experience. The Personality of God; The Final Breaking Point. Central to his concern is the role of reason in the spiritual realm. Does reason control the will, or can the will overpower reason? This essay is in the spirit of an investigation, of questions, paradox, problems, and sometimes solutions which attempt to fit both the sense of mystery and the requirements of religion. Determine for yourself whether Scott Crom raises more questions than he...

Quaker Pamphlets Online: The Place of Prayer
http://quakerpamphlets.blogspot.com/2008/03/place-of-prayer.html
Thursday, March 6, 2008. The Place of Prayer. In "The Place of Prayer Is A Precious Habitation" John Nicholson summarizes for Friends the testimony of John Woolman about his rich and varied prayer life. He also helps us understand how it moved from direct prayer to living the spirit of prayer. The next focus is perhaps the most difficult factor, the surrender of will. In the same quotation from The True Harmony of Mankind, one finds,. I feel that pride is opposite to Divine love. And if I put forth m...

Spiritual Thoughts on Spiritual Thinking: At Home in the Madhouse
http://ayin-daath.blogspot.com/2008/04/at-home-in-madhouse.html
Spiritual Thoughts on Spiritual Thinking. Thursday, April 3, 2008. At Home in the Madhouse. I started my new job last week. I now work in a group home for substance-abusing individuals with co-occurring mental disorders. The overwhelming majority of them have schizophrenia, along with depression and post-traumatic stress - I have yet to see any bipolars, but I know that they are out there. I have one client who, more than the others, exhibits the classical schizophrenic symptoms of disorganized speech, a...

Spiritual Thoughts on Spiritual Thinking: The View From Halfway Up the Mountain
http://ayin-daath.blogspot.com/2008/02/view-from-halfway-up-mountain.html
Spiritual Thoughts on Spiritual Thinking. Tuesday, February 5, 2008. The View From Halfway Up the Mountain. A little while ago now, I had a mystical experience. I 'saw' God. So even if you don't think my experience is real, pretend with me for a second. For me, the more important question is whether it was useful. Just like what I, at least, think is love, the important thing isn't whether it's real, but whether it's useful. Them, for quite a while, but definitely got bored with the repetition. Time pass...
